I have been offered a job for a role that I am considering taking; however, I have a final interview with a different company tomorrow that I am really excited about. How do I manage this without losing out on the first offer?

When does the offer expire?

True

I’ve been in this circumstance several times. Go on the 2nd interview. Feel it out. It may not be as good as u think. Get all the info u can upfront about the offer. If u like Co. B tell them u have another offer and need to get back to them but that Company B is the first choice. Which is the truth.

Oops just read the expiration on the 1st company. I’d take the first job but still go to the interview. U just never know. And yes , I have done that with another offer already on the table.

I agree w the others. You owe no one anything. However, If u accept a second offer go in knowing:

- Everything you can about the 2nd company. Benefits, pay, culture, reputation etc
- The 1st company may be snooty to you. You may burn some bridges. You wil never work for them or someone in their contacts should they cross paths.
- OR They may give you a counter offer.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
